campaign

Many folks on this list have already heard the news that the White House released their first set of Drupal code on GitHub:
https://github.com/WhiteHouse/petition

And it is for the petition/advocacy tool that they built here:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/

This has gotten a good deal of coverage on Reddit & other sites who are excited about government participation in open source.

I'm looking for modules that do the following 1) "email your leaders" function. Allowing users to send a standard or customised email to their political representatives. The correct political representative is identified using a zip code / post code search. New email campaigns can be set up fairly easily. 2) a basic petition signing module. Users simply enter a name and email and are then recorded as having signed the petition.

Can someone point me to a module or combination of modules that do the above. Thanks in advance for your help. Alex

Hello everybody,

we are trying to implement the 5 motivators of giving, as shared by in the TED Talk of Taylor Conroy - How to Build a School in 3 Hours (worth watching, 19min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC02SmuOxYI . The motivators are: Group Mentality, Tangible Outcome, Microgiving, Personal Connection and Recognition. We believe that these are indeed motivators and we want to integrate them in the CiviCRM Personal Campaigns.

Who are we and what we are doing?

Die Campaigning-Website be-drupal.de, die zum letzten Linuxtag aufgesetzt wurde, hat eine Überarbeitung erfahren. Pünktlich zum Linuxtag 2009 erstrahlt die Website in neuem Glanz und zeigt an zahlreichen Beispielen die positive Verwandschaft des Menschen mit seinem Drupal-CMS: Be Drupal!

Hi folks,

I began working on a side project a month or so ago to create a system with Drupal that will allow organizers to collaboratively manage volunteers, events and field operations. I have been surprised by the demand for a system like this and I would like to take this past idea stage and formalize a fork of Drupal for campaigns/organizations.

The general functionality I am looking to build in (some of which is completed) is:
1) Calendar
2) Management of campaign requests
2) Task management
3) Volunteer database

My friend whurley has launched an online poll to bring open source to the attention of politicians -- specifically, the presidential candidates. He, like many of us, is troubled by the recent calls for patent reform put forth by larger companies that may wind up blocking innovation and threatening open source-oriented companies and contractors.

You can view the poll here and vote for which candidate you believe is best for the open source community. (Don't worry: "None of them" is an option!)

Before initiating a fundraising campaign, there are five important questions you’ll need to answer as mentioned in How to Use the Internet for Group Fundraising.

What issue does your campaign target?
Where is the money going to go?
Who can you ask for financial support?
When do you need to meet the fundraising goal?
How are you going to convince people to support the campaign?
